Harry Lyon was a rational man, a cop who refused to let his job harden his soul. Then one fateful day, he was forced to shoot a man--and a homeless stranger with bloodshot eyes uttered the haunting words that challenged Harry Lyon's sanity: "Ticktock, ticktock. You'll be dead in sixteen hours...Dead by dawn...Dead by dawn...Dead by dawn..."

Critic reviews

“A razor-sharp, nonstop, suspenseful story.”(The San Diego Union-Tribune)

“Tumbling, hallucinogenic prose....‘Serious’ writers...might do well to examine his technique.” (The New York Times Book Review)

“Perhaps more than any other author, Koontz writes fiction perfectly suited to the mood of America...novels that acknowledge the reality and tenacity of evil but also the power of good...[and that] entertain vastly as they uplift.” (Publishers Weekly)
Unique Storyline • Thrilling Suspense • Brilliant Characterizations • Humorous Elements • Vivid Villain Voice

This is a non-stop page turner and keeps you guessing until the end. This book is a solid four for be because From the Corner of his Eye is just a hard book to top. Connie and Henry really deliver in Dragon Tears and is a thrilling ride all the way through.

Another great read by a great author.

Dragon Tears is not one of my favorite Koontz, but it is not bad. The story is a little preachier than I like and the story is a little Koontz-formulaic. That formula has a mildly interesting supernatural bad guy, strong female cop, a conflicted male cop, a very good dog, and other assorted characters. I found the powers of the bad guy over the top. After a nice setup the story concludes too rapidly without a resounding ending. So, it you love Koontz, give it a try.

Imperfect but still Koontz
